Car HID

[leem00]

I will be getting my 2013 ford focus ST back from the dealer today - it has HID and LED's and apparently is all one unit.

I was having issues with the led's not working and apparently it was getting to hot.

New cost for the headlight from the dealer $2,400!

Cost out of my pocket $0. I love factory warrantees!


Note: this is the second warrantee repair for a different issue on this car... me thinks it is time to trade!

I am DONE with a capital D with American cars. Im sorry but they just do not make them as well. Which sucks because i like the designs better of most American Cars but if they don't last the rest does not matter. I have an 08 Chrylser that was put together by monkeys, so many creeks and ratlles and the dealer cant do anything about it. I have had Ford and Chevy too. I just got a new fully loaded Sonata and that thing runs like a champ and is quiet as a mouse, not to mention it has every bell and whistle i could think of in it and was 0% for 72 months.

I don't know if 2 different warranty repairs would make me trade. Chances are you won't have any more problems and you'll lose a lot trading.

I just traded in my 2008 Ford Edge that I had for 6-1/2 years and put on $225,000 km ($140,000+ miles). I had 2 warranty repairs; tie-rod end and ABS sensor. It still ran like new and was the best vehicle I have ever owned. I now have a 2015 Explorer and love it. Ford is the only American car I would buy.

I really like the new Fords. Test drove the 1.5L turbo manual trans Fusion before getting my Accord. That motor was surprisingly powerful and fun, the chassis handled well. (Unfortunately it has the smallest interior room at what we were looking at and they wanted $5 grand more for it than the Accord or Mazda6) Having a Mazdaspeed3 in the past, I drooled at the new turbo Focus and even the Fiesta ST. The speed junky in me would probably push past the speckled reliability of Ford and get one if I could....

HOWEVER, American cars have not shown reliability to be a strength. Even the "new" ones are falling apart. Honda and Toyota have the reputation they do because they've built near bullet-proof cars for a long time with little or no change in reliability.
